SCAIHS

In lieu of the requirements of 59-65-40 (the home schooling
law), parents or guardians may teach their children at home if the instruction
is conducted under the auspices of the South Carolina Association of Independent
Home Schools. Bona fide membership and continuing compliance with the academic
standards of SCAIHS exempts the home schooler from the further requirements of
59-65-40.

The State Department of Education shall conduct annually a
review of the associations standard to insure that requirements of the
association, at a minimum include:

a) A parent must hold at least a high school diploma or the
equivalent general education development (GED) Certificate;

b) the instructional year is at least 180 days;

c) the curriculum includes, but is not limited to, the basic
instructional areas of reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social
studies, and in grades seen through twelve, compositions and literature.

By January thirtieth of each year, SCAIHS shall report the
number and grade level of children home schooled through the association to the
children's respective school districts.
